Game Thread GAME# 60: BLAZERS @ PACERS - FEBRUARY 28, 2016 - SUNDAY, 3:00 PM (PST), CSNNW

[HailBlazers]

"Our team would not be the same without Ed Davis. He's a huge part of what we do." -Dame

Wonder if Dame took the game thread Poll!

 

[BlazerCaravan]

No Blazer (that I can find) has scored 30 in 7 out of 8 games before.

 

[dreamcloud]

What Dame has been doing in February has been amazing. It's unfortunate he still won't win Player of the Week/Month or get any recognition due to Curry's stats still being way above everyone else...

 

[KingSpeed]

17-4 in last 21 games
16-6 in next 22 games and I win $1100

Unfortunate for the league maybe. More fuel for the fire!!

What's the scoring record at MSG?

 

[BlazerCaravan]

What's the scoring record at MSG?

61 by Kobe.

 

[KingSpeed]

What's the scoring record at MSG?

Melo and Kobe have each scored at least 60 there.

 

[KingSpeed]

61 by Kobe.

Didn't Melo get 62?

 

[illmatic99]

So many Blazer fans at the arena tonight. Dame, Gerald, and Meyers were sick

 

[KingSpeed]

I looked it up. Melo got 62. Kobe's 61 is most by a visiting player.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

Yeah I only looked up opponents

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Well, looks like Dame is gonna shoot for 63

Haha!

After Dame's 33 points tonight, he moves his average up to 25.4 ppg.



The Blazers haven't had a player average this much in a season since Clyde Drexler averaged 27.2 ppg in 1988-89.

If Dame can hold this average, it will be good for 4th all time for the Blazers.
1. Clyde Drexler, 1988-89, 27.2 ppg
2. Clyde Drexler, 1987-88, 27.0 ppg
3. Kiki Vandeweghe, 1986-87, 26.9 ppg
4. Damian Lillard, 2015-16, 25.4 ppg
5. Clyde Drexler, 1991-92, 25.0 ppg
6. Geoff Petrie, 1972-73, 24.9 ppg
7. Geoff Petrie, 1970-71, 24.8 ppg
8. Kiki Vandeweghe, 1985-86, 24.8 ppg
9. Sidney Wicks, 1971-72, 24.5 ppg
10. Geoff Petrie, 1973-74, 24.3 ppg

This guy is fun to watch!

Myles Turner reminds me of a young Aldridge.

Both from Texas too.

 

[Natebishop3]

I still can't get over some Boston fan telling me that Dame isn't one of the top 24 in the league.... I keep messaging him stats every time Dame does something cool.

 

[HailBlazers]

Watching the replay, missed the game earlier, Aminu's defense is under appreciated.

He's the "Paul George Stopper"

PG was 8-32 (25%) versus the Blazers this season.

Zero G nickname for Dame or nah?

 

[theprunetang]

Myles Turner reminds me of a young Aldridge.

He reminds me of old dirty Bastard.

 

[Darkwebs]

"Zero G" sounds cool and is fitting because Lillard is a player on the rise and he has mad hops.

Better than my idea of "Zero D" (since most people think he plays no defense).

Zero G sounds like a flavor of off brand Gatorade. I think it would be the one that tastes like light purple.

James Harden actually averages 18 ppg. The NBA averages the other 10ppg on his behalf.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Myles Turner reminds me of a young Aldridge.

I think he is more confident but pretty similar.

I'm surprised (but happy) to see that LA isn't on this list.

Alright. If you don't like Zero G, then how about "Patient Zero"

Because he always plays calm and collected, showing a lot of patience. In addition, his game is totally sick!

That's better. You can only try to contain him....
